The Mariner
The Mariner6th November 2018, 19:30 to 22:00 at The Cut Arts Centre, New Cut, Halesworth (21 miles)
'It takes real skill to take a sturdy piece of classic literature and turn it into one of the most imaginative shows of the year' (Andrew Clarke, reviewing our 2015 tour of The Count of Monte Cristo in the EADT)
After their acclaimed productions of The Old Curiosity Shop & Sherlock Holmes and The Hooded Lance in 2017, COMMON GROUND THEATRE COMPANY return with this enthralling, surreal musical adaptation of Coleridge's gothic fantasy, The Rime of The Ancient Mariner, with its strong message of respect for all living things, and its investigation into man's creative and destructive urges. Its publication in 1792 heralded the arrival of the Romantic movement in England, and has held a place in the common consciousness ever since, inspiring generations of writers and film-makers.
The show will feature live action, puppetry, film and original music by Pat Whymark, sung by a live choir. The Mariner will be played by Julian Harries (New Wolsey Theatre, Colchester Mercury, RSC, National Theatre, Shared Experience, West End)
